Chapter 23: Fighting the Demon Corpse
I don't know what kind of trouble Lin Yuxi encountered, but she actually knocked me down, and we both rolled down the stairs. This path is restricted by the terrain, and it is not a circle around the wall. The slope is very steep, so if you roll down, don't even think about getting up, and be careful not to roll off the stairs, because there is a wall on one side and it is suspended in the air on the other side without any shelter, and you will be smashed into a meat paste if you fall down.
Fortunately, I rolled straight down, and my whole body was in great pain, but I didn't run out of the steps. However, I rolled down a few meters and collided with the old zongzi. It was dark, and I only felt that my back hit the steel part. Because of the strong momentum of our rolling, it was knocked out. A loud "bang" sound came from below, and the old zongzi seemed to fall to the ground.
Although the collision temporarily slowed down the rolling, it still couldn't stop. We kept rolling and tumbling. Sometimes I was on top, and sometimes Lin Yuxi was on the bottom, all the way to the bottom. Fortunately, the place we climbed up was not very high. If we rolled down from the top, our lives would be in danger.
Lin Yuxi lay on top of me this time, and she only moaned softly in pain, unable to utter a word. I felt like my entire skeleton was broken apart, and it was difficult to even breathe, let alone moan. The old zongzi seemed to have fallen hard as well, and I couldn't hear any sound from it, so I guess it hasn't gotten up yet. I tried to raise my breath to my chest and abdomen, but I didn't expect that although my body was weak, the energy of Wu Fu was still there, and it immediately broke through the blocked breath in my chest and abdomen, and the pain in my body was not so severe, and my limbs could move and stretch.
I cursed myself for being a fool. Why didn't I think of my luck just now? I didn't have to make Lin Yuxi work so hard. I slowly turned over and let Lin Yuxi roll off me, then climbed up. Suddenly, my right hand touched my flashlight. I turned it on immediately and found that the demon corpse was lying not far away from me. Its head was almost flattened, and its limbs were twitching. It seemed that it was hit hard and it would be difficult to recover for a while.
Panting and looking around, he found the sharp knife and crowbar that Lei Xueting had dropped on one side of the coffin. He immediately gritted his teeth and stood up. He felt that he could reach half of his previous state by breathing. He quickly ran to the coffin, picked up the sharp knife and bit it in his mouth, then picked up the crowbar, and pulled off the two yellow talismans and the red rope from the coffin lid that was tilted on the outer coffin.
I turned around and suddenly saw that the demon corpse had turned over at some point and was crawling forward, heading towards Lin Yuxi. This panicked me, and I ran back regardless of everything, blocking Lin Yuxi, and quickly wrapped the red rope around the crowbar, especially the top. Just at this time, the demon corpse crawled in front of me, I took a deep breath, and stabbed the stick into its open mouth. At the same time, I made a thunder seal with my left hand, and silently said in my heart: "The five thunders are powerful, and the thunder order must be carried out. Hurry up and obey the order!"
The Five Thunders is actually a synonym for the power of Taoism. It may not really cause the Five Thunders to strike the top of the head, but this kind of "thunder" energy is not fake. In addition, the red rope is inserted into the mouth of the old Zongzi to help the power, which is extraordinary. The mouth of the demon corpse crackled like fried beans, flashing with thunderbolt fire, and the pain made the thing twitch all over and rolled back hard.
I was just about to press on when Lin Yuxi recovered and shouted, "I just touched a poisonous snake on the steps. I was almost scared to death."
This can't be true, right? I sniffed and really wanted to cry. One demon corpse was enough to kill us 17 or 18 times. If there were another group of poisonous snakes, how many times would we have to die? Damn it, I'm not good at math and can't figure it out. But then I thought that these poisonous snakes were all on the steps, so the two old guys must have discovered them. The old blind man wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Ignore this matter for now and deal with the demon corpse first.
I chased after it with the crowbar, but the old zongzi suddenly stopped rolling and stood up. Under the flashlight, its flattened head made its face look a little bigger, and the symbol on its forehead was gone, but its facial features were quite regular, revealing a sense of elegance. If it wasn't naked and half of its body was made of steel, who would have thought it was a demon corpse?
Seeing this, I couldn't help but gasp. It hadn't recovered when I poked it just now, but now it seems to have recovered. Looking at its spirit, it must not be stupid enough to allow me to poke it in the mouth again. A good man never suffers a loss in front of him, so I decided to dodge. I turned around and ran back, pulling off the red rope on the crowbar. I looked back and saw this thing chasing me, and its eyes were bloodshot and round, which made my scalp numb.
I threw the crowbar at it, but it blocked it with its arms and sent it flying into the wall. With a muffled "bang", the crowbar was inserted into the stone for more than a foot. I couldn't help but stick out my tongue. I ran back to Lin Yuxi in fear and pulled her up. She had almost recovered by now. She looked at the demon corpse rushing over from behind and screamed, "Here it comes, here it comes..."
Screaming? Hurry up and run. I didn't have time to speak, and pulled her forward in panic. But I was still a little slow, and the old Zongzi's claws slapped my back, so I sat on the plane and flew straight forward like a kite with a broken string. Lin Yuxi was dragged by me and fell to the ground, screaming behind me.
I wanted to save her but couldn't, thinking that I could only rely on luck now. "Plop" I actually plunged into the coffin head-on, only my forehead hit the coffin board hard, and it felt quite soft when I landed. I climbed up and saw that the bottom of the coffin was covered with brocade bedding. Although it had been rotten for a long time, the cotton wool flew when I hit it, but it relieved the strong impact. I rubbed my head and lay on the side of the coffin, and found that Lin Yuxi was chased by the old Zongzi, but this girl was very smart, and she turned a sharp corner like a rabbit. When she saw that the old Zongzi was about to succeed, she successfully slipped away at the last moment.
After running to the coffin, the old zongzi was furious. Seeing that the coffin blocked her way, she flew over. Lin Yuxi screamed and squatted down with her head in her arms. The old zongzi didn't hit anyone, but rushed forward with the remaining momentum, hitting the outer coffin wall and falling backwards. The sharp knife was still in its mouth. I took it off and wanted to jump out and stab its eyes.
But before the old zongzi's body had completely hit the ground, it suddenly bounced back. I just stood up and was so scared that I quickly squatted down and pulled the tangled red rope apart. The old zongzi ignored Lin Yuxi at this moment and stuck his head in to fork my neck. I was not so easy to surrender. I leaned back hard and raised my hands to put the torn red rope around its neck.
Although the old Zongzi was quite awesome, it was still an evil spirit. After the red rope was put around its neck, its hands trembled in pain and it kept shaking its head and struggling. The red rope alone was not enough to deal with it, so I used the "Yang Sword Technique" at the same time, holding the red rope in my left hand while holding up the sharp knife and stabbing one of its right eyes.
The eyeballs are the softest part of a zombie, but this place is not a fatal weakness. Its weak points are its belly button and anus. Stabbing either of them will make it vent its full of corpse qi. What makes zombies so powerful? It relies on corpse qi. Once this thing is exhausted, it will wilt like a person with diarrhea and dehydration.
But the old zongzi was different from ordinary zombies. The knife stabbed it in anger, and it screamed and waved its hands to hit randomly. Its claws were like hammers, smashing the coffin into pieces, and finally grabbed the broken coffin and threw it out like a stool.
Damn it, I'm still in the coffin!
